[cayugabirds-l] Podell Boardwalk

2012-09-02 Thread Mark Chao
The Podell Boardwalk is named for Albert Podell.  I know nothing specific
about his association with the Lab, but it seems likely that he is the same
guy featured in this article.

A Google search reveals more interesting info about the estimable Mr.
Podell.  Evidently he is not only a Lab supporter and a defiantly principled
chooser of lifestyle and bed linens -- he is also a generous supporter of
other charitable causes, a patron of the arts, a world traveler, filmmaker,
and author.  I gotta give the guy credit - and not just because his namesake
boardwalk is such a good place to find birds.

 

Alas, I didn't check there this morning, but I did find a few migrants
elsewhere in Sapsucker Woods - a female CANADA WARBLER by the Charley Harper
memorial bench, a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH at the pond edge here, and a
BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER in the woods close to the Fuller Wetlands.

Greetings, Birders!

Many of you post of sightings at the Podell Boardwalk here at the Lab. An
elderly visitor of the same last name is keen to know for whom is it named?
I have combed our website and the internet for the information and not
finding anything, and I thought perhaps some of you have been part of the
Lab or birding here since before said Boardwalk was created may know.

 

Many Thanks,

holly

Sorry Mark-- Our Albert Podell is Cornell '58.  I have met him, and that photo 
doesn't look anything like him. Don't we have a AAD folks on here?
